Information for Prospective Members
Eligibility
- A person is eligible to apply for membership of the RCH Alpine Club if they meet any of the following criteria:
- A current employee of either the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) Melbourne or the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI)
- The spouse or partner of a financial member of the RCH Alpine Club
- A child (less than 18 years of age) of a financial member of the RCH Alpine Club
Membership Types
There are two membership categories:
- Adult membership (18 years of age or more)
- Junior membership (less than 18 years of age)
The RCH Alpine Club does not have a family membership category but other types of membership may be offered by the Committee in exceptional circumstances.
After an application for membership is accepted by the Committee (see below), the applicant joins the RCH Alpine Club as an ‘Associate’ for their first year. After this, the applicant is admitted as a full member of the RCH Alpine Club. Ongoing membership continues indefinitely providing the applicant continues to pay his/her subscription, even if the applicant/their spouse or partner/their parent is no longer an employee of RCH or MCRI.
Joining Fees and Annual Subscriptions
The joining fee is $720 for adults (payable over 2 years) and $360 for children.
The current (2023) annual subscription is $360 (early bird discount $290) for adult members and $180 (early bird discount $145) for junior members .
Membership Application Process
- Complete and submit the Become a Member (click here) form making sure to add the names of two current RCH Alpine Club members that can propose and second your nomination in the "Joining Comments" field
- The application will be considered at the next committee meeting (second Wednesday of each month)
- Successful applicants will be notified by email and sent an account for the joining fee and annual subscription
- Once these payments have been received and the applicant is ‘financial’, a log in for the booking system will be emailed and accommodation bookings can be made
